Hi, |
| 40 |
You don't need 'postfix' (nor 'qmail') to send mail using your ISP's mail-servers. |
| 41 |
So check (and change if need be) the settings in Kmail&TB to use your ISP mail-server. |
| 42 |
Currenly you must be using the local postfix server to process the mail and as it's not |
| 43 |
configured it breaks. Usually it's something like: mail.ISP-name-here.com |
| 44 |
Check again username & password for the server. Unmerge 'postfix' - not needed. |
